7.5.1.4 Children First

The Children First program provides employment and training services and support to help eligible noncustodial parents increase their involvement in the lives of their child(ren).

Eligibility for Children First is not tied to W-2 eligibility. A noncustodial parent may receive both Children First and W-2 services at the same time.

For more information about the Children First program participation and services, see the DCF Children First webpage .
